Reviews
An innovative book on the reception of Western feminism in China. The author brings together translation, women and sexuality, and feminist tradition. -- Jose Santaemilia, Associate Professor of English Language and Linguistics, University of Valencia
Altogether, Translating Feminism in China: Gender, sexuality and censorship offers a vast panorama of the position of translation, sexuality and feminism in China today, thus opening up a much-needed debate on these topics. And, more importantly perhaps, it places Chinese growing research alongside the research carried out in other places of the world, thus filling a rather large gap in translation (and sexuality) studies. Translating sexuality (women’s body, homosexuality, lesbianism) is a clearly political act, with important rhetorical and ideological implications, which always poses social, historical and ethical dilemmas to translators and readers alike. -- José Santaemilia, Associate Professor of English Language and Linguistics, University of Valencia ""Translating Feminism in China extends the research on Chinese translations of Western feminist texts.. [The book] deepends the understanding of gender and sexuality in Chinese translation studies."" - Fan Xing, Babel
